It was late last night, but Kevin could not sleep. His bed was inside a camping tent, and just outside the tent were the fields of Africa, filled with wild animals. His parents slept soundly in another bed across from him. He wondered how they could be so clam. What if a lion came into their tent? He was very frightened. It took a long time before Kevin finally fell asleep.

When the son came up, he felt his mother’s hand on his head. “Morning, Kevin!” she said, “time to wake up and go on the safari.” Before they left America, his parents had explained to him that a safari was a long drive through nature, usually in Africa. During a safari you can see lions and zebras living free, instead of cooped up(限制) in a zoo.

“What if we get close to a lion?” Kevin asked.

“Oh, daring,” she said “nothing will happen to us if we listen to our guide.”

Kevin got dressed slowly, listened to the bird singing outside and began to feel less afraid. After a brief breakfast, he got into a jeep with his parents. The driver, Jim, a kind –looking man, was also their guide.

The jeep took off a dirt road. After a little while Kevin and his parents waited in the tall grass while Jim walked ahead of them and looked around. After a minute Jim raised his hands in the air. “Shhh,” he said in a low voice. “It’s nothing dangerous but don’t speak loudly.” Kevin and his parents walked up to where Jim stood, and soon Kevin saw a beautiful golden creature with dark brown spots(斑點(diǎn)) and a very ,very long neck–a giraffe.

“Wow,” said Kevin, He could not believe how close he was to the giraffe. All his fears disappeared and he began to get excited about the day to come.

Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friends.

What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(援救)dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives： the rat.

How does it work? First， the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens， the rat’s brain gives a signal(信號(hào)). This is sent to a small radio on its back， and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps， the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job， rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark， they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs， and unlike robots， they don’t need electricity!

The “rat project” is not finished， but a scientist says， “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to， and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history， people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake， of course).

1.In the writer’s opinion， rats may become man’s new friends because .

A. they can be food for people

B. they can help rescuers to find living people

C. they are lovely

D. they can completely take the place of man to carry out rescue jobs

2.What does the underlined word “this” mean?

A. An earthquake.

B. The rat has smelled a person

C. The rat has smelled that someone is alive .

D. The rat has found a robot.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Rats don’t need electricity.

B. Rats are better than robots when smelling.

C. Rats are as clever as radios.

D. Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.

4.Why does the “rat project” sound great according to the passage?

A. Because rats can get into very small spaces.

B. Because rats have better noses than dogs.

C. Because rats don’t like robots.

D. Because rats are brave.

5.Which is the best title of this passage?

A. Ways of saving people B. Rats and robots

C. After earthquake D. Rats for rescue
